my word for 2012 is brave.
you have to be brave with your life
so that others can be brave with theirs.
i love this quote from katherine center's essay so much.
a month or so ago i decided that i wanted to do something similar to emily falconbridge's past art journal challeges that i've played along with. in 2009 she did 52Q which i loved. and in 2007 she did art journal card prompts which i loved as well. i have done crafty things here or there...but i'm really craving more time in our art room. and i thought this might be the kick in the rear i need! i asked em if she would care if i did something similar and she didn't mind. i'm planning to do one art journal piece each sunday. i already have a hefty stash of these vintage envelopes that are approximately 3" x 5" so that's what i'm going to use. i don't expect a bunch of people to play along...but if you do it'd be fun!
ETA: prettttty please leave a link to your art
journal card if you decide to play along!
this week i decided to do one word.
and because i was choosing a word for the year i just used that.
sage's card.
she even decided to choose a word for the year.
emerson's card.
and if you haven't watched this video before...do it.

"Brave"....life is never going to stop being challenging and you're just gonna stay stuck if you can't summon up some braveness...
